**TL;DR:**
• “Moon Museum” was the brainchild of concept artist Forrest Myers. The ceramic tile was inscribed with designs from six contemporary artists.
• Myers tried to get NASA’s approval to stow “Moon museum” aboard the Saturn V rocket. It’re believed “ Moon Museum’ was covertly attached to the lunar module and deposited on the moon during landing.
• The piece was never sanctioned by NASA and had to be smuggled into space by an anonymous NASA employee before launch in November 1969. It is believed to have been placed on the surface of the moon by the Apollo 12 lunar module during the lunar landing on November 14, 1969.
• The artwork is now on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, with plans to expand it to other museums in the U.S. and around the world in the coming years.
• It was designed by Myers, who collaborated with artists Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, David Novros, Robert Rauschenberg, and John Chamberlain.
